Meg Ryan’s Son Jack Quaid Shares Excitement Over Mom’s Upcoming Wedding

It looks like Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp’s engagement is bringing joy not just to fans but also to their families. The star of You’ve Got Mail has everyone buzzing about her new chapter in life, and her son, Jack Quaid, couldn’t be more thrilled. Recently, the young actor opened up about his mom's big news, revealing how pumped he is for the upcoming nuptials. “I couldn’t be happier for both of them,” Jack, 26, told Page Six during an event in New York City on April 28. His enthusiasm was palpable as he described the union between his mother and the legendary musician as "amazing."

Jack’s excitement extends beyond just being supportive of his mom’s happiness. He admitted that he’s also a fan of John Mellencamp’s music, particularly the classic hit “Jack and Diane.” But it doesn’t stop there—Jack even tunes into The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills occasionally to catch glimpses of Teddi Mellencamp, John’s daughter. “I’ve seen a few episodes, and she’s great,” he shared with a smile.

How the Engagement Came to Light

Back in November, Meg Ryan, now 57, broke the news of her engagement to the Grammy-winning musician, John Mellencamp, 67. The announcement came via an adorable Instagram post where Meg shared a whimsical drawing of herself and John. In the artwork, the couple is depicted holding hands with John strumming a guitar. “ENGAGED!” she captioned the heartwarming image, leaving fans in awe of the sweet gesture.

Looking Back at Meg and John’s Love Story

Before this joyful moment, both Meg and John had their fair share of ups and downs in love. Meg was previously married to actor Dennis Quaid, with whom she shares her son Jack. However, the couple divorced in 2001, and Meg later adopted Daisy True Ryan as a single mother. On John’s end, he was married three times—to Priscilla Esterline (1970–1981), Victoria Granucci (1981–1989), and Elaine Irwin (1992–2011). He’s the proud father of six children from those marriages, including reality TV star Teddi Mellencamp.

The Journey to Happily Ever After

John and Meg’s love story wasn’t without its twists and turns. They first started dating in 2011, but their romance faced challenges due to a long-distance relationship—Meg lived in New York City, while John split his time between Indiana and South Carolina. Despite separating in 2014, they reunited later that year. Unfortunately, they parted ways again in 2015, only to reconcile for good in 2017. Now, with the announcement of their engagement, it seems the couple has found their way back to each other, and everyone is rooting for them.

As we eagerly await the next chapter in their lives, it’s clear that Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp’s love has blossomed into something truly special. Their journey reminds us that sometimes, love takes time, patience, and a little faith to flourish.
